No, I'm not real happy with it, at least not with hoosier A6's. exiting turns on the track when the weight comes off of one wheel, it disengages and slips and the motor revs with no acceleration, kind of like a slipping clutch.

How long have you had the quaife? Could it be the tires?

It's just the way that the quaife works, it requires both wheels to be in contact with the ground. Any situation where you have one wheel unloaded (due to sticky tires or bouncing a curb) will cause inside wheel spin like the stock unit. For track junkies a clutch type diff is recommended especially if you are on race tires. The quaife is perfect for street use or occasional track on street tires.
